When and Where: May 26, Game 3, Eastern Conference Finals vs. The year before, Chicago had taken a surprising lead in the Eastern Conference finals against the hated Detroit Pistons, who then rolled out the bruising "Jordan Rules" strategy that targeted the superstar and dared the Bulls to beat them with the supporting cast. When these two hooked up in the Eastern Conference finals, Detroit deployed the same aggressive tactics en route to a lead, before getting torched for 47 in Game Three.
Detroit still would win this series, and repeat as NBA champions by sweeping the Lakers. When and Where: June 2 thru June 12, vs. Michael made the Finals appointment television for five games, especially after the Lakers stole Game One in Chicago.

Kingrey, in fact, had to be talked into going for the perfect game by his wife, Karyn. The young couple were watching X-Play on G4TV one evening when the show mentioned the perfect-game contest, the second one held by 2K Sports. Karyn had watched her husband play video games expertly and wondered why this one should be any harder.
Brian had to study up not just on the performers in the game, but also on some of the rules of baseball. The contest opened on April 1, about a month after the game's release and two weeks after Karyn told Brian to go pick it up.
In that span, he pitched with every team's opening day starter to get a feel for their repertoire. Brian quickly settled on the Philadelphia Phillies' Roy Halladay, also the game's cover star, for a couple of reasons. The first is that his April 1 opponent would be the Houston Astros, one of the poorest hitting teams in the game.
The second is Halladay's cut fastball, a blowtorch that runs hard away from righthanded batters. Houston had only two lefthanded batters in its projected starting lineup.
The rest of the Astro hitters, Brian noted, were all very aggressive, making them more likely to chase pitches outside the strike zone.
It all added up to 27 consecutive outs, a perfect game, which Brian threw just two hours after the contest's official start time. He teaches piano, guitar, band and choir at the high school where he lives. Nearly two months had passed from the contest's opening to the announcement last week that they'd found a winner, and in that span a few videos had hit YouTube purporting to show successful perfect games.
